IEA to Accelerate Release of 100 Million Barrels of Oil Stocks Amid Supply Concerns
The International Energy Agency (IEA) announced plans to accelerate the release of about 100 million barrels of oil stocks, prioritizing diesel to ease tight markets amid supply concerns linked to the Iran war. This follows a G7 agreement to release the same volume of crude and diesel. Analysts note the figure mainly reflects faster delivery of previously pledged supplies rather than new releases. France plans to release 10 million barrels of diesel, while global tensions and inventory changes continue to influence oil prices.
